Four New York shops did not advance: Berlin Cameron & Partners, Fallon, Merkley Newman Harty & Partners and Della Femina Rothschild Jeary and Partners, said sources.

Billings on the account -- which was previously handled by the now defunct Warwick Baker O'Neill, here -- are estimated at $10-15 million. The other brands are French's Potato Sticks, French's French Fried Onions, Worcestershire sauce and Frank's RedHot sauce.

The client plans to visit the six contenders before making another round of cuts, reducing the number to three or four finalists. New York consultancy Roth Associates is managing the search.
